Disneyworld Day 4! our last day:(

And here we are on the last day of most awesomest adventure yet.... I wasn't sure as far as the ages of my kids how Hollywood or Epcot would appeal to them so we decided to use our last day to park hop between the two parks seeing the things we thought the kids would enjoy. It worked out perfectly because after a great deal of running by Mitch and I we made it to all the attractions at both the parks!  I was actually pleasantly surprised at how much we found that both the girls really seemed to enjoy even in Epcot where I expected some of it to be a little over their heads because of their ages.  We started off the morning at Hollywood studios....

And who did we see when we first walked in.. Donald and Daisy duck.  Well we had already hung out with Donald at dinner a few nights before but Daisy was another story.  We just had to meet her too or at least Addie Blaire wanted to as you can see by the pictures Britann would have been fine without that meet and greet. ( a bit of a forced smile if you will)

Poor Addie Blaire, that sun was so bright that day and her baby blues just can't take it.  She was doing her best to try and smile but she said the sun was hurting her eyes.  (by the way it was supposed to be pouring down rain this day so I had dressed the kids warmly thinking we might get wet and instead it warmed up to almost 90 degrees!  Isn't that how it works so instead we couldn't peel off enough clothes to cool down! but I'm not complaining because the sun allowed us to get to see all we did that day.

Disney Live channel had the dancers out in the square performing and Addie Blaire was all about joining in. That little one loves to dance!!  She made sure that she was right up front too.  She is the one (for those of you with eyes beyond that of the average age, I guess that is a good way to put it mom) to the mid left with a red shirt and light blue bow.

and here she is rocking out with the cast she was really getting some air on those jumps (she is right in the middle of picture)

Next we went to the Disney Junior show and it was great.  Everyone sits on the floor and watchs a puppet type show with Mickey and friends...

Jake and the neverland pirates, and Sophia the First!

They even made it snow and passed out gold coins from the pirates! (this was the girls favorite part)

Then we discovered an area of the park that I thought the girls would never leave, the Honey, I shrunk the Kids set!  The girls loved every second in this area they were running here there and everywhere exploring the whole backyard.  I just thought this was a cute shot of big and little sisters enjoying their time together and really making some cool memories I hope will stay with them forever (if not then this blog will serve to jog their memories hopefully!!!) 

 

After that we stopped by San Francisco...

and New York City(or at least that is what I thought it was) it was really a quick trip!

We were off for showtime with Belle.  They had a great broadway-esque performance of Beauty and the Beast that was really good.  The whole show was full of awesome sets and really lifelike characters. I was impressed by the show even after having seen the real production on Broadway. 

the last stop at Hollywood was the Toy Story ride we had been waiting on all day (the fast pass was sold out for hours already when we got to the park!)  It was really neat so I know now why it was such a hit. 

Love these three!!!

but we needed a major cool down before we left and we found it right in front of our eyes!

luckily a refreshing cool off can come from the most unlikely places!

These were more pictures we took on the set of Cars for all the fans out there, not particularly my two but they were sports about it.

and off we were by taxi (couldn't endure one more bus trip!) to Epcot.  We arrived and to our wonderful surprise it was during the HGTV Flower festival at the park.  It was so cool seeing all that they were able to make out of flowers, I was really amazed by the time and effort it must have taken.  We bought our passports and off we went to explore the WORLD!

See aren't they just beautiful!

they even had flowers made out of flowers!

We stopped in England to catch a little tea time and guess who we ran right into...

Alice and her wonderland friends.

Sleeping beauty and her prince.

Snow White and the seven dwarfs.

We were starving by this time and we had asked Addie Blaire what she wanted to eat and she said Japanese food so that we did, and both girls loved their food!

After lunch the girls both took a nap in the stroller and dad and I set off to explore some of the local eateries ourselves. (with them in tow of course)

As you can see dad's first stop was to Germany!  He was really getting into the spirit of things.  I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't become an official Disney greeter one of these days, well maybe if they stick him right in the middle of Germany (I'll explain that one to the girls when they are older!)

Oh, Canada!!  Isn't it just so serene!!

Britann seemed to think so..

Once the girls were back up and at em' we stopped by all of the countries and allowed each girl to get her passport stamped with the country logo and a message from those there.  It was pretty cool how the employees were authentic foreigners and were able to write both of the girls names in their native languages.  I think that will be  a great keepsake for many years. 

Belle was hanging out in France so we had to get one more chance to say hello.

Then it was time for another cool down, this came in the way of ice cream!!  Luckily the Italian gelato hit the spot!!

I decided once we had made all our stops to let the girls kick back and have a little good old fashioned fun and boy did they.  Britann was a wild woman on the loose!!  She was running from water spout back and forth for at least 30 minutes straight. 

She loved it...

so much so that she even went head diving straight into the water!

wonderful memories made and such a beautiful day to make them!

The next few pictures we took back at our hotel of all our cool grotto friends..  Ursala

Sebastian

and King Triton

This was our little (well actually that would be a key word in describing our room, the pictures really don't do it justice it was much bigger then it seems in photos, yeah right!) but the girls loved the decor and to be honest we spent so little time here it was really quite perfect.  (note to those going sometime in the future!)  Sorry for the un-made bed mom but we were on vacation that never normally happens!

So what can I say after all this blogging about our little vacation to sum it up.  Well I don't know if I can find the words myself.  I really have the best memories from this trip, so weird how Mitch and I both would tell you it was better than any vacation we have ever taken, even those that just the two of us have shared! We both agreed that these two little angels have changed us forever because just seeing the little twinkle in their eyes while we were there made everything worthwhile and there is no better feeling to a parent than that! It truly made my heart smile!  So how do you sum it up, well I guess Addie Blaire said it best when asked if she had a good time she said "It was amazing!" for a 5 yr. old that is a big word but I think I know just what she meant!!  So farewell Disney, I hope to see you again next year (but that will take a little magic on part to work daddy back up to), so until next time.....
